Answer:

The mass ratio of oxygen rounded to the nearest whole no. 3 : 2

Explanation:

According to Law of Multiple proportion when two elements combine to make two or more different compounds, the mass ratio of the two element in the first compound, when divided by the mass ratio of the second compound , form a simple whole number ratio.

Compound A contains 1.34 g of sulfur for every 0.86 g of oxygen

        \frac{1.34}{0.86}= 1.5

Compound B contains 11.63 g of sulfur for every 10.49 g of oxygen

      \frac{11.643}{10.49}= 1.0

Ratio of oxygen in each compound

   always put the larger number over the smaller number.

\frac{CompoundA}{Compound B}=\frac{1.5}{1.0}=\frac{3}{2}

The entropy of an exothermic reaction decreases. This reaction will be spontaneous under which of the following temperatures?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:Low temperatures

Explanation:

∆G= ∆H-T∆S

If ∆H is negative (exothermic reaction), then in order to maintain ∆G<0 which is the condition for spontaneity; T must decrease. This is because, decrease in T will keep the difference of ∆H and T∆S at a negative value in order to satisfy the above stated condition for spontaneity.

Which of the following compounds' solubility will not be affected by a low pH in solution?
Whitepunk [10]

The compound solubility which will not be affected by a low pH in solution is AgBr.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of any solution and according to the pH scale 0 to 6.9 shows the acidity, 7 is neutral and 7.1 to 14 shows the basicity of any solution.

  • AgBr is sparingly soluble in water and not soluble in acids, so if we low the pH of the solution towards the acidity its solubility not affected.
  • NiCO₃ is a basic salt and and shows solubility in the acidic medium so change in pH will affect its solubility.
  • Co(OH)₂ it is also a basic compound and shows its solubility in the acidic medium and get affected when change in pH takes place.
  • PbF₂ is a strong base and also shows solubility in the acidic medium easily, so get affected when change in pH takes place.
  • In CuS, sulphide is basic ion and whole compound shows solubility in the acidic medium and get affected when low pH of solution takes place.

AgBr is not affected by a low pH in solution.

Which element is oxidized in the reaction below? fe(co)5 (l) + 2hi (g) fe(co)4i2 (s) + co (g) + h2 (g)?
DanielleElmas [232]
Oxidation state of I is (-1) and for CO it is zero. Let's assume that the oxidation state of Fe in Fe(CO)₄I₂<span> (s) is x. For whole compound, the charge is zero.

Sum of oxidation numbers in all elements = Charge of the compound.

Here we have 1Fe , 4CO and 2I
hence we can find the oxidation state as;
 x + 4*0 + 2*(-1) = 0
 x + 0 - 2            = 0
                   x     = +2
Hence the oxidation state of Fe in product </span>Fe(CO)₄I₂ (s) is +2.

Same as we can find the oxidation state (y) of Fe in Fe(CO)₅(s).
y + 5*0 = 0
   y        = 0

Since oxidation state of Fe increased from 0 to +2, the oxidized element is Fe in the given reaction.

Mantle convection is a process of that creates circular currents in the asthenosphere. As a result, the plates slowly move.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

<em>Rigid plates that move around Earth's surface is called tectonic plates. </em>

Explanation:

Lithosphere is rigid and relatively cold and is the outer surface of the planet. The convective motions of maintenance break the lithosphere into plates.

This place that a form can move in any direction, can move towards each other, can move away and push each other which is the reason for formation of mountains for shifting of continents for making of ocean basin.
